Подробнее +Roughly 2.6 million high-efficiency light bulbs were sold below-cost to residential consumers of electricity in two Mexican cities as part of a pilot demonstration project for high-efficiency lighting. The ILUMEX project surpassed its physical targets and successfully demonstrated the technical feasibility of reducing both greenhouse gas emissions and local environmental contamination through the widespread installation of fluorescent lighting. The payback in learning about technical designs was high, but overall it failed to deliver lessons about the economic and financial design of sustainable models for the marketing of high-efficiency light bulbs, especially among poor consumers. The project designers did not ask if the model was replicable or financially sustainable.
